A beloved American standard with music by Hoagy Carmichael and lyrics by Stuart Gorrell, first published in 1930. Originally inspired not by the U.S. state but by Carmichael’s sister, Georgia, the song blends wistful nostalgia with a gently rolling melody that has helped it endure across generations. Over time, Georgia on My Mind became inseparably associated with the American South, ultimately being adopted as the official state song of Georgia in 1979.
